“I don’t need the affirmation of the mainstream media. I don’t care what they say. They can call me an anti-Semite. They can call me racist. They call me nativist. You can call me anything you want. Okay? As long as we’re driving this agenda for the working men and women of this country, I’m happy.”

CBS video of 60 minute interview

The “Bonus” round of the interview held another great quote from Steven K. Bannon – formerly known as the “Honey Badger” on the Hill prior to his stint in the White House. His new nickname is “Bannon the Barbarian”. Quotes like this may be the reason he has earned the humours pet names.

“Hillary Clinton’s not very bright. Everybody says she’s so smart, so much smarter than Donald Trump. … She doesn’t really have a grasp. She doesn’t have a grasp on what’s important and what’s not. And that’s what’s essential in a leader. Donald Trump has a grasp on what’s important and what’s marginalia. … That speech of hers is an embarrassment. Breitbart, alt-right, ethno-nationalism, white supremacist. It landed flat.”

Do you think Bannon will fight for the President’s Agenda of America First?
